I pray for Google to completely fail the pivot to AI. We don't need another surveillance capitalism company using AI to make us even dumber and more addicted to screens.

I so hope that Google goes down. (And I pray the same for Facebook and a couple others).

Huh? Why are you railing against Google? Because of YouTube? How's Google Search making you addicted to screens.

At this rate, you'll hate Apple for making iPhones so damn good, or Starlink for giving really good internet access.

You line of thinking is - gosh, these companies are providing an excellent service, and I hate them for that?

The incentive for those Adtech is to keep you hooked as long as possible so they can sell you more ads, and making you lose your only real currency in life: time.

The incentive for Apple or Microsoft is to make a good product that you will gladly pay for. This is very different.

A good restaurant makes an excellent product bit it doesn't mean that I will spend 5 hours there.

		I use Google products. Between YouTube premium and uBlock origin, I don't really see any ads at all.
